Are you a big spender? Or perhaps you've saved up for this journey for years? And now it's finally time to spend it. We can help you to some pampering, and tell you how to give yourself and your fellow travellers a real treat. This journey has the potential to be the the journey of a lifetime!

Sleep in style

The luxurious hotel, Eilert Smith Hotel, is not only a place to sleep. It's almost worth the trip alone. A hidden gem tucked between Stavanger's old wooden houses and modern buildings. All 11 rooms offer high-quality products, comfort and exceptional service. The building was originally designed by architect Eilert Smith and was built in 1937. The impressive building is a prime example of Norwegian functionalist architecture. Functionalism's heyday in Stavanger in the late 1930s was characterised by optimism and economic growth. You can still see several design features typical for this period preserved in the building today. Because of the building’s distinct architecture, each room is uniquely shaped and individually designed. Leaving the room is almost too comfortable... but don't forget - you also have sights to see!

Fjord, mountains, starry sky - and you

At the Lysefjord, there is a quite unusual accommodation with an outstanding design and a panoramic view of one of Norway's most spectacular fjords. The Bolder managed to become world-renowned in a short time and visiting guests virtually queue up to secure a few nights in the design cabins which almost hang in airy suspension over the fjord. You can choose between Starlodges and Skylodges, both cabin types are of a high standard, and you will not lack anything in terms of comfort. And the view - it's iconic!

Høllesli

With its distinctive design and location by the Lysefjord in Ryfylke, The Bolder is a unique place to stay. Four of the cabins are designed by Snøhetta.

Cruising elegance

See the sights from a private cruise. Both Private Cruise and Lysetur offer comfortable trips on stylish yachts. With nice and knowledgeable captains who ensure a personal touch on the experience. The tours are of course tailored to your expectations.

Helicopter sightseeing

If you want to see as much as possible in one go, a helicopter tour could be a fantastic option. Also, it's a completely cool experience to see everything from a bird's eye perspective. Not to mention a good opportunity for photo snapping! You could also combine helicopter tours with yacht cruises.

Veteran ship for the day?

Are you really in to the classics, the veteran ship MS Sandnes can be yours for the day, for the night or even go on a small cruise. The ship offers accommodation and can tailormake any event for you - all in traditional style.

Sightseeing in an elegant way

    MICHELIN eating

    Stavanger has MICHELIN-stars restaurants; if you are lucky enough to try them, you'll understand why! On the one hand, the exclusive RE-NAA invites you to relax and lean back and receive relaxed elegance, and friendly service with a low threshold, yet high-quality food! On the other hand, Sabi Omakase is arguably Norway's most exclusive sushi restaurant. In the restaurant, there is room for 10 guests. You sit around the bar and watch sushi master Asakil Joya stock sushi in a frenzy. Guests are served the best ingredients the sushi master has obtained at any time. Sushi is served in a way not previously done in Norway.
